On Episode 14 of Black in Science, I sat down with Dr. Myron Evans, who recently accepted a position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Research Institute. During the interview, Myron opens by describing his childhood while growing up in St. Augustine, Florida before transitioning into his time as an undergraduate student at Florida International University. After discussing his Ph.D thesis work in inflammatory breast cancer at Duke University, Dr. Evans recaps his experience while seeking out a faculty position in academia. To close things out, Myron summarizes his own views on the importance of taking time off, finding a good group of friends and following the science wherever it takes you.
